Title: What is the farthest ride on a single charge?
Post by: benswing on July 10, 2012, 07:20:27 PM

Yesterday I rode 105.0 miles on my 2012 Zero S ZF-9 in real world conditions and am wondering if that is currently the benchmark for production electric motorcycles or if someone has gone farther on one charge. 

Details of the ride are at:

I'm very curious about this since range is always one of the first questions that people ask about electric vehicles.

A couple of months ago someone posted a link to a video where a Zero S owner made a stop-action movie of his 143-mile ride along the So. CA coast. It was all on the flat and speeds seemed to average around 30 mph.
